Moneyland: The inside story of the crooks and kleptocrats who rule the world

Kleptocracies, governments run by corrupt leaders that prosper at the expense of their people, are on the rise. Whereas in the past, if an official stole vast sums of money it could only be used for a limited number of thigs, modern institutions in the United States and Europe have turned into massive money-laundering operations. It isn’t too late to fight back and prevent the accumulation of wealth and power through the exploitation of countries with little wealth.

Author Oliver Bullough discusses modern kleptocrats and oligarchs and how they continue to evade laws and regulations designed to stop them. Diane Francis, senior fellow, Eurasia Center, Atlantic Council; Editor-at-Large, National Post, and Dr. Anders Åslund, senior fellow, Eurasia Center, Atlantic Council join the conversation.
